Episode 23: Silver-Haired Weirdos
The cold power of the Wuji Fruit finally burst out, and Cunyi's whole body was shrouded in a layer of frost and snow, and his face became as pale as paper.
He didn't want Zi Yan to see his terrible face, so he climbed Lingxiao Peak alone to find the Xuanbing Flame Cave.
These are two extreme terrifying caves, the ice in the ice cave is frosty, the surrounding ice walls are crystal clear, and the breath of death is revealed in the tranquility and beauty. The flames of the cave were scorching, the rocks were scorching and melting, and the tumbling magma let out a roar from hell.
Cunyi came to the fireworks cave and sat down on the smooth green rock, and the heat waves that hit him from time to time warmed his stiff body.
However, after this brief period of relief, there were even more terrible consequences, Cunyi's face and hands were full of transparent dark spots, and not only that, but the dark spots also quickly spread all over his body.
A handsome and handsome young man, in the blink of an eye, he has become an ugly monster that everyone hates, and his heart is extremely miserable. He really wanted to hit his head against the stone wall and die, but he died like this, who will avenge his father's blood and hatred? He burst into tears, roaring in this empty cave, venting his endless sorrow.
At this time, he can no longer return to Wuji Gate, the beautiful and gentle Senior Sister Zi Yan, if she sees this ugly face, she will definitely be frightened. If I secretly learn martial arts and don't follow Master's teachings, what kind of face do I have to go to his old man's house again? Let me fend for myself here, Master and Senior Sister, please forget about me, an unrighteous person.
Cunyi wiped away his tears and returned to the Xuanbing Cave, he stroked the cold stone wall with his hand, and said to himself: "Stone Cave, Stone Cave, you are lonely on the top of the cliff, no one to confide in you, now I am here to accompany you." ”
Walking along the winding ice road of the Xuanbing Cave, it was already dark in front of him, Cunyi took out a fire fold and lit it to illuminate it, and found that there was a wide ice chamber in front of him.
Walking into the ice room, there is a round ice table on one side, four ice stools are placed around the ice table, and a book is on the table. Cunyi took a closer look, this book is also carved with cold ice, and the cover is engraved with the four big characters of "Wuji Swordsmanship".
In the center of the ice room is a row of icemen of different shapes, wielding ice swords. Cunyi's swordsmanship moves seem to be like the Wuji swordsmanship of this school, but what the sword refers to is completely different from the swordsmanship he practiced. Cunyi couldn't understand the truth for a while, and then turned to look elsewhere.
Cunyi came to the southwest corner, there was an ice bridge, and after walking across the ice bridge, a huge ice sword stood in front of him. When he came to the Sword Forest, Cunyi saw the words "Wuji Sword Forest" written on the sword in the center.
With the light of the fire in his hand, Cunyi found that this place was nothing more than a sword forest surrounded by ice swords. He was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly thought of something: it turned out that the hilts of the ice swords around him were all carved from the cold ice in one piece, except for the hilt of the ice sword in the middle, which was embedded with a jade.
Driven by curiosity, Cunyi tied the hemp rope he used for mountaineering in the palms of his hands and soles to increase friction so that he could climb the smooth blade of the sword.
When he came to the hilt of the sword, Cunyi found that the jade inlay seemed to show signs of hollowing out, and it was not made in one piece with the ice sword. He pressed his hand hard against the jade, but there was no response. Then he took out a short blade and dug out the jade with the hilt, and when Cunyi took the jade in his hand and looked at it carefully, after a sharp shake, the sword body was broken in two, and Cunyi immediately fell into the pit below.
When Cunyi opened his eyes, his hands and feet had been tightly tied by dozens of silver wires, and he struggled with all his strength a few times, but the silver wires tied to his body became tighter and tighter.
He shouted anxiously, "Let me out, let me out." ”
After a long time, a silver-haired, white-clad man appeared in front of him.
Cunyi looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. The man's face was bloodless, his old face was full of furrows, and his jagged teeth were sharp and frightening.
Cunyi yelled at him, "Stranger, let me go." ”
The silver-haired weirdo took out a few dried fruits from his arms, and while eating them, he laughed and said, "Look at your dark body this time, even uglier than me, and finally found someone uglier than me." ”
After listening to the strange man's words, Cunyi cried sadly again, his ugly appearance was still free to move after all, and now he was bound by the strange man, and I am afraid that there will be no time to see the light of day again in this life.
The strange man saw Cunyi crying, and clapped his hands happily and laughed: "It's fun, it's fun, I want to catch a black bear cub today, I'm going to play a good game." ”
Cunyi stopped his tears and looked at him with frightened eyes, he didn't know what the silver-haired weird would do to deal with him?
The strange man pressed the button on the stone wall, and Cunyi's body began to fall rapidly, and after a while, his whole body was completely immersed in the boiling spring water.
Cunyi felt a tearing pain in his skin. The strange man came to the edge of the spring pool, bared his fangs and said with a smile: "How does the little cub feel, isn't it pleasant to soak in hot water?"
Cunyi looked at the silver-haired stranger with angry eyes, and said to him: "Monster, if you have any means, just use it, if I frown my eyebrows, it won't be Yang Cunyi." ”
The strange man clapped his hands again and laughed: "What do you care about Zhang Cunyi, Li Cunyi's, let you taste the power of the bloodthirsty divine needle." ”
With a wave of his hand, dozens of silver needles immediately pierced Cunyi's body, and the stinging pain in his heart made large droplets of sweat appear on Cunyi's forehead, but he still clenched his steel teeth and glared at the silver-haired monster with eyes that spewed anger.
The strange man walked up to Cunyi, pried open his mouth and said, "Give you something to eat, lest you starve to death, and the game will not be playable." ”
Cunyi said angrily: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, old monster, hurry up and do it." ”
The strange man didn't answer, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.
Zi Yan searched everywhere, where there was a righteous figure, and she was so anxious that she hurried to report to her master.
The scholar is practicing the superior martial arts of the sect in the inner room-Wuji Demon Suppression Skill.
Zi Yan didn't know that she pushed the door in a crying voice and broke in, and the scholar hurriedly asked Zi Yan, what happened?
Zi Yan threw herself into the scholar's arms and cried loudly: "Master, the junior brother is gone." ”
The scholar wiped the tears on Zi Yan's face and said to her, "Zi Yan, don't worry, Cunyi may be playing with you, and he will appear in a while." ”
Zi Yan shook her head and continued to cry: "Master, junior brother hasn't been back all night. ”
The scholar was shocked: "What? Cunyi didn't come back all night?"
Zi Yan nodded and replied, "Senior Brother's bed is neat and tidy, and there is no sign of sleeping at all. ”
The scholar was furious, and a stream of blood spat out of his mouth. Zi Yan stepped forward to support the scholar and said to him, "Master, it doesn't matter to you. ”
The scholar sat on the stool, smiled and said to Zi Yan: "Zi Yan don't worry, it's okay to be a teacher, now let's go out to find the righteousness." ”
The master and apprentice will explore Wujimen, in front of and behind the mountain, and expand the scope of search, but they have never seen the figure of Cunyi.
Zi Yan was so anxious that she cried again, and the scholar comforted her and said: "Cun Yi Ji Ren Tianxiang, Zi Yan don't worry too much, if you lose weight, how will you go to see your junior brother in the future." ”
Zi Yan's face flushed with shame, and she said coquettishly: "Master, if you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you." ”
The scholar stroked his long beard and smiled: "Okay, don't talk nonsense for the teacher, Zi Yan is not early, let's go back to cook quickly, Cunyi may come back soon." ”
Zi Yan smiled and ran back as fast as a flower, and the scholar was distracted by the practice, which hurt his heart, and a stream of blood spit out from his mouth.
Although Zhao Zhuolong widely distributed invitation stickers, in addition to the Taihu Lake gangs on the mixed water, only Xu Kai, the head of the Huashan faction, and Bai Yufeng, the head of the Qingcheng faction, led a few disciples to participate.
Zhao Zhuolong is very self-aware, and he doesn't care about Shaolin and Wudang of Taishan Beidou if he doesn't send people to attend the meeting.
Seeing that the time was tight and all the factions that could come had arrived, Zhao Zhuolong ordered the people to prepare a feast to entertain the heroes of the various factions.
During the banquet, Zhao Zhuolong picked up the wine glass and came to the heroes, he said: "Fellow martial artists, now the traitors in the court are in charge, the people are in miserable condition, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian is looting the people's wealth everywhere, building a shrine for him, and now he is bewitching the emperor and recruiting the people to expand the garden." As a chivalrous person, how can we sit idly by and ignore such a move that has brought disaster to the country and the people? Therefore, the purpose of summoning all the heroes here today is to discuss the hijacking of the ship in Taihu Lake and to frustrate the spirit of the old thief. ”
As soon as Zhao Zhuolong's words came out, some of the heroes present slapped the table, some blew their beards and stared, and some talked to each other, buzzing, and the scene became a pot of porridge.
Zhang Jianfeng held the wine glass in his hand and looked around, a sneer appeared on his face.
At this time, Xu Kai, the head of the Huashan faction, said: "Master Zhao, you are the initiator, and you are famous on Taihu Lake, we will listen to your orders for everything." ”
Zhang Jianfeng drank all the wine, and suddenly laughed wildly, and everyone present was shocked.
Xu Kai said to Zhang Jianfeng with an unhappy face: "You little baby is extremely unreasonable, the famous heroes of the rivers and lakes gather here, you laugh wildly, is it to despise us?"
Zhang Jianfeng stood up, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "What Master Xu said just now, Master Zhao is famous on Taihu Lake, and the implication is that he will be lonely and nameless when he leaves Taihu Lake. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhuolong's face showed anger, and Xu Kai really didn't think about it.
Xu Kai saw that Zhao Zhuolong was angry, and he knew that his words were abrupt, and he hated Zhang Jianfeng for fanning the flames. said to him: "Where did you come from, the hairy boy, dare to speak disrespectfully, if the old man does not punish you a little today, you will not know how to respect the old and respect the virtuous." ”
Zhang Jianfeng said with a smile: "Annoyed and angry, you want to beat me to accompany you, but what if you lose?"
Xu Kai said: "The kid is arrogant, if you can beat me, the Huashan faction will be sent by you." ”
Zhang Jianfeng put the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, flew to the courtyard, and said to the heroes: "It's better to use your fists and feet to talk about it, so that everyone is convinced." Master Xu, you let the horse come over. ”
Xu Kai's strange eyes rolled, holding the Dragon Sword in his hand and yelling at Zhang Jianfeng: "Let Xu Ye teach you how to be a man today." ”
After finishing speaking, the two pointed their swords at each other and fought together.
